Just a thought..been to alot of the home games this season and i have noticed....especially at the weekend how we had no right hand side of midfield and the french boy waslacking at going forward in fear of exposing the right side....would we not be better moving to a 3-5-2 allowing young players to be moulded into wingbacks?

Enlighten me to why you disagree...

Our problem isn't the formation, it's the players that McCoist is picking to play in the positions. We're playing with Faure at RB, which is not his natural position and Argyriou at RM, which is not his natural position. It's no wonder we're struggling on the right.
And at the moment we're struggling to defend with 4 at the back and you want to go with 3.
When Templeton is back fit on the left, Aird can move to the right, giving width & pace on both sides.
Agree4
Disagree4
Spot on...Ally needs to rethink his tactics, as they are not working particularly well at the moment.
Agree6
Disagree5
That is my whole point....playing people in position where the are not comfortable is pointless and makes them look worse (not saying they are great to start with but it was quantity rather than quality which was requied when they signed)...you can only p155 with the coq you have...get a formation that the squad are comfortable playing with. shields / black both had turns on the rm...both were disasterous leaving fraure exposed....who is not playing in his natural position...we need a formation that the players are comfortable with...not what we want them to play....boss the midfield and allow wallace and fraure to provide width...shields canplay upfront with little....utilise mcculloch blach and hutton to control the centre...

I know one 'Alba' who knows how to score in the last minute. hehe!

Your right mate. It happens too often to be a coincidence. It's to do with bottle as well as having the guile and know how to draw cheap free kicks, take your time with throw ins, free kick and goal kicks and having the ability to keep possession when the opposition are pressing hard and desperate for the ball back. It sounds harder than it is. And is mostly to do with ur bottle! Scotland, Scotland's women's, Scottish teams (all of us at the top level) are all lacking in it IMO.
Agree4
Disagree0
Alba is a top class player. The way rangers play jeff sterling could score. It's all about luck sometimes you get it sometimes you don't. Last 5 is usually when players are tired physicly and mentally. Really impressed with how Barcelona close down space to win the ball back then just pass you to death. Maybe coaching in how to take a ball under pressure an be able to control and pick a controlled pass.

When Rangers played Barca (camp nou) in Nov 2007 we had 33.7% possession and 3 shots on goal (official champs lge website) and they Mhanky lot are trying to spin last night into a good result. They had 10% possession, surely a record low for world football.
Believable17
Unbelievable19
In 2007, Barcelona were nowhere near the team they are now - that was in the pre-Guardiola/Titanova days and in the dismal period towards the end of Rijkaard's tenure. There's night and day between the two sides. It was 5 years ago - loads can happen in 5 years, as Rangers fans should know only too well.
Agree18

But it was a FANTASTIC performance according to them and their media pals. Don't mention the Anti Football sentiment - oops too late.

How many goals did u score against them how many of the uefa cup games did you attack teams look what zenit done to you because you had to attack anyway u don't have the right to comment about Celtic or the champions playing in Europe because we r there look what your rubbish manager got you last season in Europe where you are the now nowhere lol

@1. Here are some of the players who were obviously guff back in 2007 because they played Rangers. Ronaldinho, Messi, Deco, Henry, Eto'o, Thuram, Bojan, Milito, Xavi, Puyol, Zambrotta, Abidal, Gudjohnsen. They were still an awesome side back then and with fantastic players. Maybe Rikjaards managerial skills were not upto scratch but there was nothing wrong with his playing squad.

OP. Now that's clutching at straws at it's best.

Barcelona players Jordi Alba and Andreas Iniesta stating 'justice was done' against Celtic.
Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano, who inadvertently deflected the ball past his own goalkeeper Victor Valdes to give Celtic an 18th-minute lead, echoed his team-mate's thoughts.
I think that justice was done. If you see the 11 or 12 chances we had against the one they had, justice was done, he added on his club's website.
The team never tires of going forward, we could have thrown in the towel but we've gone for it until the end.
This season has been showing us that the match isn't over until the final whistle. It's not the first time that's happened to us.
Unjust'
Andres Iniesta, who scored Barca's equaliser on the stroke of half-time, added: It would've been unjust not to have won.
After they scored they didn't leave much space and it was very difficult.* (But) we kept faith that we would get that goal. It could have happened earlier, but the game isn't over until the final whistle.
Couldn't agree more with the comment.
*Note:
Take it this was a polite way of saying, "they played with 10 men behind the ball"
Agree12

@4. So i take it you will be playing all out attacking football when Barcelona arrive at Parkhead then? We will wait and see.

24 Oct 2012 22:40:58
@6: i'm guessing you don't know much about that side. It had great players but wasn't a great team. Many players - Ronaldhino, Deco to name two - were disinterested and overly keen on the Barcelona night-life. Henry was struggling adjust to the system in his first season, Messi was troubled by injuries, as was Iniesta and the league form was atrocious. Read Graham Hunter's book and you'll learn about the problems at the club at the time, the main one being the poor performances of a fragmented first team.
Agree7
Disagree5
If you remember rightly it was messi who said rangers were anti football. The 4-6-0 formation would confirm this. Celtic played with 4-4-1-1 scored then couldn't get the ball. No Barcelona players came out and slated celtic so don't blame te fans or the media. Have a giant messi.

24 Oct 2012 23:22:46
Yes celtics performance last night in the CL is something that should concern a team in the Scottish 3rd division. Why should they worry about the small issues that are arising at they're relatively new club
Some guy has just asked them for they're hard earned cash without showing them a business plan. I think you boys have a lot more to worry about the the Bhoys. Good luck in the future lads and hopefully see you soon on the pitch

Grow up. Barca have an average 70% possession. Number 1 in Europe for possession.
Their team is 15x the cost ours is. They did better than anyone could've predicted. Messi couldn't score against us ffs!!

#11 - Ronaldinho was world player of the year twice in Barcelona - Deco was the guy that ran O'Neills very best ragged in Seville - not bad for non team players - Celts played well the other night but got beat by a far better team, which incidentally was missing not only it's whole defence, but also it's striker ..... Ps the Barca team that Rangers played qualified to the CL as league winners not runners up like the current outfit
Agree5
Disagree4
@1 The way Barca play stretches back to the way Johan Cruyff set up the club. Stop embarrassing yourself you tw*t. They have and will continue to play in the same way for years, it is the way they are taught at their academy. You ever heard of football outside of the Scottish 4th Division? Have any newco fans heard of football pre 2012, I have never seen so many people that know nothing about football in one place. All you can do is stoop to childish stupid arguments, this forum used to be good when we could talk about football. I think all the real Rangers fans have abandoned ship on here, no bloody wonder when they need to read this p**h!!
Agree1
Disagree4
@19. No not all real Rangers fans, just that there are more tic fans on here than on their own pages.
Agree2
Disagree3
@18: Ronaldinho was a liability in 2007 - more interested in partying than in football. The first thing that Guardiola did when he took charge in 2008 was sell him, remember. Deco was the same. Also, Barca didn't win the league in 2007 - they won it in 2006 and then in 2008.
@19: sorry, mate but I'm not a Rangers fan or a tw*t. Yes, there is a way that Barca play but that season was not a good one under Rikjaard - he'd basically lost control of his superstars who weren't pulling their weight. The board admitted at the end of it that he should have been sacked in the summer of 2007. It was the following summer that Pep took over and there was a dramatic change with him going back to basics, reminding the board that the cantera (youth system) was the most important aspect of the club and that all teams at Barca should play the same way, something that had slipped under Rikjaard's tenure.

I remember a guy on the radio at the time saying that the people he knew inside ibrox were saying the only time they ever seen Craig Whyte panic was the day he was at court trying to persuade the judge to let him pick the administrators. If these rumours are true then we now know why. When you take a breath and sit and think over the car crash that has been the last 12 months...Murray, Whyte, Alistair Johnston, Duff and Phelps, Collyer Bristow, Gary whitey, Bill Ng, Brian Kennedy, Martin Bain and Charles Green to mention but a few of the liars, conmen, 2 faced backstrabbers and crooks who have been involved with or associated themselves with us! I just get the feeling we are a magnet for them. I proper winds me up.

The wee sh!te maybe went public with this one to make others think he has other tapes.

Yes no 10 ,as long as you let others in the same vicinity know you are doing it and it could include their conversation ,to bug someones phone or put a silent ring mobile hidden in the dash of a car is illegal ps.ive seen it done doug t.s.o

@ 7 you better tell that to the judge in the duffs lawsuit against his lawyers because thats where its came from ... duffs is suing his lawyers for not telling them about ticketus deal hes defending his self like anyone would do
Agree6
Disagree1
It's all one big scam to wipe the debt. I think whyte expected rangers to be kept in the spl due to them having a big support. I don't think he expected 3rd div. he's probably recorded a lot of conversations maybe even one with mr green. We'll just have to wait an see.
Agree6
Disagree1
Afraid I don't think you're 100% right here Doug.
It's generally a criminal offence to record a conversation unlawfully but there is a list of exceptions such as to provide evidence of a business transaction which is why shows like Watchdog are allowed to record conversations with crooks and air them without permission. If it's deemed in the public interest courts will accept tapes like Whyte's as evidence. And the TV (I won't go into my feelings for that mob at the moment) have sent the tape to Lord Hodge so their lawyers think it's legit.
Note that the top brass at D&P in New York have made a statement on the matter. None of the usual talk of sueing and no accusations of illegality so I think a couple of D&P jaickets are on shoogley pegs over here.

Hi barney maybe so ,i once suggested to my lawyer about giving him taped evidence and was told if i did he could no longer act for me ,then again i became involved with someone from the law society office in edinburgh who on a routine inspection at my lawyers looked into my divorce files and my lawyer wanted me to go to an associate lawyer so that he could register a complaint against the law society which i refused ,but to whytes scenario ,if he recorded any conversations he probably had microphone hidden and the 3rd partys were unaware of that ,how many phone calls have you made and have been informed by other party this converstion is being recorded for training purposes etc bla bla doug t.s.o

24 Oct 2012 18:54:25
So it would appear Duff & Phelps have been caught out.Make no mistake this is very bad news for Rangers.As administrators there main objective was to get the best deal possible for creditors.Can anyone really say they done this? Players should have been sold straight away,or in the nearest window,and big earners,with their pensions and BUPA cover,laid off.There main concern seemed to be keeping the club going,that was not there job.BDO,who take over at the end of the month will have a field day with this.To sell Ibrox,The Albion and Murray Park,plus player contracts,for £5.5million is clearly nonsense.
If this sale is overturned,and it might(gratuitous alienation),this could be a nightmare.I have been very critical of Mr Green,with just cause i think,but he really needs to address this and let all fans know his contingency plans.The fact his partner, Mr Ahmed,has since claimed the property to be worth£50million will not sit well during this.My main concern though is this.If the sale is overturned what are the implications for the two tax cases and the rest of the debt? If the sale is revoked,then this would mean "oldco" are now liable for the debt.Does this mean a re-sale of all property to gain a better deal for creditors? Over to you Mr Green. AB. {The Ed039's Note - People are reading too much into the liquidators, BDO have been appointed at the request of HMRC to investigate the financial mismanagement of oldco in order for HMRC to pursue those responsible and they have stated this)

@1 Everyting stated in this post seems spot on and knowing Craig Whyte, he will work this to his advantage, which will in turn confuse the whole liquidation process even further. Yes it has been talked about to death but these are the issues BDO are being ordered to unearth and litigate on to determine whether the deal was kosher or not and what remedies should be sought if not.

That financial mismanagement can of course encompass selling the entity off too cheaply and failing to get the est deal for the creditors.

ED039. I see what you are saying,but surely the financial mismanagement covers the sale of assets as well.HMRC were the biggest creditors and while i agree they are after the "top men",until clarified i will remain wary that we might be dragged into this again.The most worrying part of it all is what is Whytes end game?

Jeez it's just amazing, Celtic got a creditable result against Barca, almost glorious draw, and the daily rebel is all over it like a rash, what a hard luck story... But the hard facts are you had 4 attempts on goal, and Barca 28, and you had 12pc possession. And they had 88,..
Now I can just about remember the famous gers I doing that on the way to a European final, and they. called it anti football...
So to sum up. You got humped 2-1, and played with 8 men behind the ball, and were not in the same galaxy! Nevertheless you only lost 2, and nearly got a fantastic result, despite the lack of possession , keep kidding yourselves... Bluebells are blue

Read this (more than a football team matey)
It will be a real pleasure to visit Celtic Park and feel the atmosphere of a great UEFA Champions League venue.
The Celtic supporters are fantastic, in fact the best travelling supporters in the world as we have seen many times.
I know that Celtic supporters are extermely passionate about their club , a club which I believe, like FC Barcelona, is different.
We know that supporters will travel in huge numbers to follow their team, but we also know the great reputation of good behaviour which Celtic fans enjoy and clearly we are looking forward to hosting Celtic fans in the City once again.
We hope all Celtic supporters enjoy their visit to Barcelona.
Sandro Rosell (President FC Barcelona)
Enough said!!

Kidding ourselves? Hardly.Pretty much every team that goes to the Camp Nou gets battered possession wise.What Celtic did was have a good shape to push them wide rather than what Barca are great at,playing through you in the centre of your defence.We never expected anything from this game,whereas plenty fans of The rangers were predicting between 5-7 goals against.All we are is still in it,with a young squad who will benefit from last night.

The Rangers are light years behind Glasgow's elite club.
Decades will pass before they are able to match or surpass Celtic on and off the field.
What history would teach the current operators of the ibrox franchise is not to try and do it at all costs, dont chuck everything at it, the lessons of why the previous club failed should be learned.

Interesting how you say anti football is alive. The old defunct Rangers club you desperately claim is still alive reached the final of the eufa cup by playing constant anti football. I know, how dare we play defensively against the best team on the planet away from home. Nevermind eh, good luck against Clyde you'll get an away win eventually!

White coat time again, the score in the match was 2-1. All goals in the opposition net count as a goal. Even at rangers level the rules are the same. Now was it the giants of stirling Albion who kept Ă clean sheet ? You are so desperate.

Can I ask what channel The Rangers fans watched the Champions League game? I thought they were all boycotting S*y and why would you sit and laugh at a team from Scotland playing in the Champions League when your own team is in the 4th tier of Scots football. Answers by crayon on a postcard please. Blankly staring at space and saying "DUH we'z no know that" is not acceptable answer. Celtic get ANOTHER record for crowds at an away game for Scottish teams this season. It makes me so proud of being a Scotsman that our game is being cleaned up and our teams are bringing some dignity back into it. Thank God the cheats all got caught.

If you are fishing you are absolutely sh1te at it. Say barcelona-clyde over and over and you might start to enter some form of reality. Then say stirling Albion, queen of the south, berwick rangers, (and i cant remember the others Theres been so many) and you may be half way to sanity.
Viva lennon.

@5. Watched the last 20 minutes of the game online (Spanish Channel), couldn't understand the local lingo but i didn't need to when the winning goal was scored. Spanish commentator went mental - loved it.

You are right mate ! their team are valued at around £900m the celtic about £50/60m. so yes compared to them we are matalans vs harrods , but we were beaten on the last kick of the game, which just proves wha a great performance it was. oh and if we are matalans , how does it feel to be the pound shop ?? shamrock

Hang on, thought you lot valued the likes of Scott Broon at 10 Million, Hooper 20 Million, Commons 10 Million, Forrester 10 Million etc etc. Going by your valuations then Celtic only have 4 players in their entire squad.

@2 Go on making up stuff like that from Celtic fans but here's something that is true about the value of ONE Celtic player; Celtic could have accepted a bid from southampton for gary hooper in january of £6.5million, the same amount it would take to buy your club and assemble your team for the season, now does that indicate Celtic having a hugely expensive team or does it show one man is worth more than your entire club?

@3. Haven't made anything up! That's what some of your fans have over inflated their players valuation at. What celtic are offered for their players and what the fans think they are worth - usually don't add up. All fans of teams always value their players higher than what they are actually worth.
